Use of allometry and skinfold thicknesses to estimate the fat mass of circumpubertal boys

Use of allometry and skinfold thicknesses to estimate the fat mass of circumpubertal boys

Background: In the pubertal period, each part of the body grows at different rates. This makes the relationship between the parts nonlinear. Particularly, the fat mass (FM) of boys tends to decrease, further exacerbating the issue of linearity in growth. Aim: To propose predictive models of FM from...
